      57 grade boundary issue.

      1. Make sure that you have an activity in each of the courses and that you have given grades to some students. Give some students grades of 57.
      2. Courses that have "(Frozen)" should show students with a grade of 57 not achieving the letter corresponding to that boundary.
      3. Create a backup of each course before upgrading to the latest version.
      4. Upgrade to the latest version.
      5. Check that the courses marked as Frozen have a message on the gradebook. Not frozen courses should not have a message in the gradebook.
      6. Agree to the changes and then back up the course.
      7. Restore the first back up and ensure that the freeze status matches.
      8. Restore the second back up after accepting the changes in the gradebook and ensure that there is no freeze put in place.
      9. Check grades and ensure that students with grades of 57 are now getting the correct grade boundary.

      Check out https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/Grade_letters on how to set grade letters. Please note that grade items can be set to use an individual display. If grade letters are selected then it uses that courses letter grades.

      This applies to 2.4 Moodle. I have been told by Tim Hunt at the OU that this is bug.

      https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=225867#p1124349

      Below is my default letter grade set at site level.

      Site administration>Grades>Letter>Edit grade letters

      Highest Lowest Letter
      59.99 % 57.00 % C+
      56.99 % 54.00 % C

      Reproduce the problem
      Set up assignment in usual way. Under >Grade use the default setting of 100 and > Simple Direct Grading.
      Next step is grading.
      Under > View/grade all submissions>Grade column>Grade>Grade out of 100>enter 57>save changes.
      Current grade in grade book> C

      Manual fix:
      Under Settings>Grades>turn editing on>edit grade>final grade>enter 57.001>save changes.
      It now shows in the grade report as C+
      And from student view>settings>grades>user report it displays as a C+.
